About Melissa
My guitar teaching approach is built around personal expression, technical growth, and creative exploration. I help students find their unique voice on the instrument by guiding them through styles like fingerstyle, blues, rock, and lead guitar. Whether you're learning your first solo or refining your phrasing, I make sure lessons are both challenging and inspiring. Each session is customized to your goals—whether it's nailing that emotional bend, crafting original compositions, or improving your rhythm and timing. We focus on techniques like alternate picking, hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides, and expressive vibrato. I also introduce tone-shaping concepts and how to build dynamic solos that tell a story. For students chasing that soulful blues sound or dreaming of the stage with a rock band, I provide the structure and support to help you get there. I use real-world examples, jam sessions, and backing tracks to build confidence and stage presence. Creativity is central to every lesson. We work on writing your own riffs, composing full songs, and improvising freely over chord progressions. I offer feedback that’s constructive, motivating, and clear. With the right mix of freedom and direction, you'll grow into a confident and expressive guitarist.

I'm a dedicated guitar educator with 4 years of experience, specializing in preparing students for competitive music exams, scholarships, and top-tier auditions. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Guitar and bring both academic insight and real-world performance skills into every lesson. Over the years, I’ve successfully helped students gain admission to prestigious music schools and conservatories, guiding them through every step of the application and audition process. My lessons are built on a strong foundation of structure, discipline, and consistency. I create personalized strategies tailored to each student's goals, strengths, and areas for growth. Whether it's mastering sight-reading, building technical fluency, or refining improvisational vocabulary, I provide clear milestones and regular feedback. High-performing students benefit from rigorous, focused sessions designed to push their musical boundaries while maintaining balance and creativity. In addition to exam prep, I also focus on shaping your unique artistic voice. I believe that discipline and expression go hand in hand—and with the right mindset, both can thrive. My goal is not just to teach guitar, but to prepare serious musicians for a lifelong journey in music. If you're an aspiring professional ready to take the next step, let's work together to make your ambition a reality.
